Abstract

This article aims to analyze the meaning of the historical-social commitment of the universities based on Paulo Freire’s critical ideas and on his experience concerning adult education in the context of the late 1950s and early 1960s in Northeastern Brazil. To do so, we have used his own works, especially texts that analyze the meaning of education and its relationship with popular masses. The methodology focused on the bibliographical review of the author's texts and others that provide help to elucidate his thinking. It was noticed that the historical-social commitment for Freire is not a benevolence or donation of knowledge from the scientific academy, but a dialogical relationship that recognizes the importance of the cultures of popular groups. The experience in the Brazilian Northeast before the civil-military dictatorship, based on an extensive activity at the University of Recife/PE, brought into light significant elaborations of the involved subjects and criticism towards the world itself.
